I am not sure it is wise to use such a feature on Arch. One could say it 
alters the package in a way that was not intended by upstream. And 
similar to other downstream patches we add: It would be better for every 
user of such software if those png files are optimized by the upstream 
project. Especially if they are broken.

One could implement a namcap rule that checks for broken pngs or those 
that can be optimized.

Greetings,

Pierre
